On this week's Listener Series, we are doing a special re-release. We are sharing Julia's story again and tune in next week to hear from her L&D nurse, Katlynn. This is such a special duo - honoring both the patient and the provider in a traumatic experience.

A little bit about Julia's story - Julia was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational hypertension. A routine delivery turned terrifying, when Julia suddenly became unresponsive. What followed was a litany of complications landing Julia and her baby in the ICU and NICU, and still to this day with an uncertain diagnosis. She shares with us the process of bringing home a NICU baby after a significant trauma and what her healing journey has been like.

On this episode, you will hear:
- labor complications and emergency response
- NICU experience and family dynamics
- second opinions and diagnosis
- navigating an ICU experience
- bonding journey after ICU and NICU experience
- the stress of bringing home a NICU baby
- finding healing and community support
